Goosebumps, and Fear Street novels were like razor-blade filled candy for my brain as a youngin'.
This thread makes me realize just how seldom I've been reading lately. *sigh* |

i like brett easton-ellis quite a lot too. he is always very descriptive and has quite a lot of satire in his writing.

While he's not my favorite writer, I truly do admire Burroughs. It seems like he was writing in order to survive his problems. Writing his way out of the shit of the world. The best of his work is some of the most brutal and desparate stuff I've read, more so than anyone else coming to mind right now.
I also admire writers who can put extremely complex theories and ideas into understandable language. And I fucking love Walt Whitman.
